“Average but not exceptional”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

My husband and I paid a short visit to Boothbay Harbor this summer. I was surprised to find accomodations on short notice at the Harbour Towne Inn, and for a cheap price - and now I know why. The room we rented was behind the building in the basement. There were no windows, and the sliding door came out directly onto the patio, so was not an option for leaving open at night. The "kitchen" consisted of a small refrigerator and a stovetop. We used neither. The "view" was of a small inlet. We did go down onto the dock where they had some chairs to sit and watch the sunset. We never got to see the rest of the Inn, so I don't know if the more expensive rooms are worth the price.
Breakfast is always of prime concern when we stay at a B and B, and this one was, again, average. It was self-serve, off a counter, and was very, very inconvenient to access. The door to the porch was at the end of the very narrow serving area, and people had to turn sideways or wait their turn to serve themselves and then get outside to sit and eat.
The Inn itself was situated on a quiet street, and was an easy walk to the downtown.

Room Tip: I would definitely not pick the cheapest room. I can't give a tip on which room to pick, as I...

“Nice setting. Average B&B compared to most. Ashley, owner's young daughter, handled things nicely while mother was away.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

Convenient location. Good breakfast service buffet style. Average room & bed for the value. If you are used to Select Registry type accommodations and breakfast, look elsewhere.

“Tucked Away Treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

When I travel I try to find the hidden treasures off the well worn path, but recently I had to make a quick trip to Boothbay Harbor and needed to stay in the heart of town at the height of tourist season. Fortunately there was one room left at the Harbour Towne Inn and I was able to book it on short notice. It was Room #7, tucked away off of the driveway (which was a few footsteps from the harbor shoreline. I loved it. Private entrance, comfortable accommodations and an amazing breakfast on the expansive deck. It gave me the privacy I wanted with the comfort I expect. The innkeeper clearly understands that cleanliness and friendliness are the foundation of a good business. I highly recommend the Harbour Towne Inn, and Room #7 if you’d enjoy the solitude of a tucked away treasure.

“First floor annex room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

After reading a bad review on room #7, an annex room on the ground floor, we were very hesitant about staying in this room. We had reserved the room some time ago for the holiday weekend. Upon arrival and being checked into the room we found that the review was totally unfounded.
The room was very clean, small but just the right size to suit our needs and oh so comfy and cozy. We found no problems with this room. We just loved it. . This B&B is an excellent place to stay. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and make you feel right at home. We were extremely satisfied with our stay. Thank you Stephanie and staff

“Great Weekend Getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We headed up to Boothbay Harbor for Columbus day weekend (10/7-10/9, 2011). The weather was perfect with sunny skies and temps in the 70's. We rented room 12 which has a nice view of the water from the Deck. Everything was comfortable and clean. Friday night was a bit windy and cold so after walking back from dinner the Inn's fresh baked shortbread cookies and fresh hot coffee really drove the chill away.
Breakfast was unbelievable. Baked Blueberry French Toast, quiche, egg & sausage bake, OJ, Blueberry Juice, fresh coffee just kept coming, fresh bisquits, fresh cut fruit medley. I lost track of everything.
We parked at the Inn Friday and walked to everything which was our goal. Harbor tour was fun. Being the last weekend of the season we got great deals at the shops.
We had a great time and would recommend this B&B to anyone. The warm hospitality made us feel like we had been there before.
Peter & Linda, MA.
